good shout on the motor, assume it's behind the interior light unit, next thing to check this weekend - at least it's closed

Hi all,after a 2 yer break I'm back in a lovely 2002 4.6 vogue, lpg and all the toys. up till yesterday everything worked (even the heated seats). Now last week the battery finally gave up the ghost, according to the sticker, it had been on since 2004 so invested £93 in a nice new one. On...

also check front & rear uj's on the propshafts

might just be that the old sat nav unit has been unplugged for another reason. Switch the ignition on and look at the unit in the boot to see if the little red light in on, if it is, then at least you know it's still plugged in, although the connector to the screen might have been unplugged...

datatek i'd go for the "loosen wheel nuts on the side you want off, put fence post & bottle jack between wheels, operate jack and wheel should come loose (with a bang probably as the rust lets go). Then put wheel nuts back on, not tight & loosen other side & repeat. I had to do this with my...

10w/40 Millers semi synth for mine. Change it every 8K miles (approx 6 monthly)

mornin' all my first one is my current one - took me ages to let go of the jap 4x4's best thing I ever did

only the basics for me full set of filters (inc pollen, gearbox & LPG) set of wiper blades & since I went from 22" to 21" they don't flap about any more set of iridium plugs bulbs inc HEVAC & dashboard tyres (always keep a couple of ebay purchased scorpion ST's as they seem to suit well)...

got to agree with some others, use the money you would have to spend on the disco/fender & fix the V8 even a recon box (if it needs that) and the extra fuel, bearing in mind that a V8 on gas is about as economical as a disco/fender towing will be cheaper in the long run, & you get all the...

Gooldie I have exactly the same thing when I hook up my caravan, it's not a problem. With the suspension in normalheight, non locked mode, when you hook up, the weight of the trailer will deflate the rear airbags and the back of the truck will seem to sink. as soon as you switch on the engine...

blimey, that was quick. I really like the look of yours Nick, mine a 2001 and in oslo blue as well. Right, decision made. A set of 18" comets for me. The pirelli scorpions I have will transfer (all got at least 5-6mm of tread) then there will be a set of 18" Hurricanes up for grabs Cheers...

Afternoon all Now my P38 is completely standard apart from a modified L322 grille and converted to LPG. I only have 1 gripe and that's the wheels. She's currently sitting on 18" hurricanes and I really don't like 'em, they look just too "busy", if that makes sense. Now, I was trawling through...

Afternoon all well, what did you think. From where I was sitting this seemed to be the least effective one they have ever done. Who in there right mind would spend £5K on an 02 L322 (with the associated gearbox issues etc.). Spend £3K on a paint job (was a nice colour tho') Refurb those...

Pughy It should be fine & won't react - but to get a really good finish, give the straight to galv paint a quick going over with a grey scotchbrite pad hope this helps

bit strange this, Mine has the standard LR swan neck towbar and when I hook up my caravan (winterhoff stabiliser), it sits very slightly nose up but as soon as I start the engine, it levels out. I just then lock the suspension in normal height and have no probs. Has any work been done on your...

cheeky I justust run it on lpg. The initial start up is on petrol but as soon as the temp gauge moves out of the blue she changes over to lpg. I filled it up in September and she's still on over 3/4 full. Pleased to say she's running sweet as a nut, just turned over 101,000 miles (I got...

last put petrol in mine in september 2012 - filler flap switch works perfectly

Jayy you don't have to come over to the mainland. Island 4x4 are handy & I have used them myself on holiday with my P38 Island 4x4, Isle of Wight worth a try but, as others have said, if it's not broke. don't fix it but do keep up t odate on routine servicing/maintenance

has even tho' yours fita on the roof (on the P38, it's under the windsreeen scuttle on the drivers side) they should be the same - a mate of mine who work for BMW tells me that the CARIN II system was also used in BMW 7 series as well as some high end Volvo's. Just a thought, Emmots of Colne...

hasbean yep, went to local BMW breaker, after taking out my antenna from under the driver side wiper assembly scuttle panel cover, they had one from a late 5 series that looked exactly the same (no makers details on tho'). Fitted it, connected the antenna cable (all with the ignition off and...
